DIVINE SOULS
Believers, do not live on usury, doubling your
wealth many times over. Have fear of God and you
shall prosper. Guard yourselves against the fire of
Hell prepared for unbelievers. Obey God and the
Prophet, so that you may find mercy. Vie with each
other to earn the forgiveness of your Lord and a
Paradise as vast as heaven and earth, prepared for
the righteous; those who give alms alike in
prosperity and in adversity; who curb their anger
and forgive their fellow men. God loves the
charitable. And who, if they commit evil or wrong
their souls, remember God and seek forgiveness for
their sins—who but God forgives sins—and do not
knowingly persist in their misdeeds. These shall be
rewarded with forgiveness from their Lord and
Gardens underneath which running streams flow,
where they shall dwell forever. Blessed is the
reward of those who do good works. (3:130-136).
